court_n be_v of_o ancient_n and_o general_a jurisdiction_n which_o therefore_o be_v not_o suppose_v to_o be_v exclude_v unless_o by_o name_n but_o the_o power_n of_o a_o visitor_n be_v create_v and_o

that_o a_o appeal_n to_o the_o visitor_n be_v most_o obvious_a to_o be_v think_v on_o and_o will_v therefore_o have_v be_v mention_v if_o design_v to_o be_v preclude_v i_o may_v with_o better_a

remedy_n the_o five_o argument_n be_v because_o these_o interpretation_n of_o the_o oath_n be_v most_o consonant_a to_o law_n and_o least_o tend_v to_o establish_v arbitrary_a power_n and_o to_o exclude_v legal_a remedy_n it_o have_v be_v say_v already_o that_o the_o oath_n be_v to_o be_v take_v in_o the_o plain_a literal_a and_o grammatical_a sense_n from_o which_o the_o rector_n and_o fellow_n be_v swear_v not_o to_o depart_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a in_o this_o case_n to_o urge_v specious_a pretence_n of_o what_o may_v seem_v in_o the_o author_n opinion_n consonant_n to_o law_n the_o urge_n of_o inconvenience_n be_v quarrel_v with_o the_o oath_n itself_o as_o if_o it_o need_v mend_v we_o must_v now_o take_v it_o as_o it_o be_v and_o it_o must_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v observe_v according_a to_o the_o literal_a and_o grammatical_a sense_n unless_o that_o sense_n be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o law_n which_o it_o be_v not_o it_o be_v not_o against_o the_o law_n for_o a_o man_n to_o wave_v his_o right_n of_o appeal_n no_o more_o than_o it_o be_v against_o law_n for_o a_o man_n to_o give_v a_o release_n of_o error_n a_o man_n may_v cedere_fw-la

under_o a_o oath_n shall_v be_v more_o arbitrary_a than_o that_o of_o a_o single_a commissary_n not_o swear_v at_o all_o as_o for_o the_o exclusion_n of_o legal_a remedy_n a_o man_n may_v to_o be_v

what_o word_n can_v this_o constitution_n perhaps_o do_v not_o restrain_v the_o jurisdiction_n of_o the_o court_n of_o law_n but_o it_o certain_o make_v he_o perjure_v that_o have_v take_v this_o

be_v bind_v to_o obey_v it_o though_o there_o be_v error_n in_o the_o judgement_n or_o though_o he_o may_v have_v have_v relief_n in_o equity_n have_v he_o not_o tie_v himself_o up_o from_o seek_v it_o though_o there_o be_v little_a reason_n from_o the_o constitution_n to_o apprehend_v that_o wrong_n will_v be_v do_v and_o it_o be_v every_o whit_n as_o reasonable_a and_o perhaps_o much_o more_o so_o that_o one_o fellow_n shall_v acquiesce_v in_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o college_n than_o that_o the_o rector_n and_o senior_n shall_v upon_o his_o complaint_n be_v call_v before_o another_o judge_n to_o who_o they_o must_v submit_v without_o appeal_n it_o must_v be_v remember_v too_o that_o though_o the_o founder_n have_v take_v good_a care_n that_o none_o of_o the_o fellow_n may_v receive_v wrong_a yet_o he_o be_v concern_v to_o do_v it_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o that_o no_o grievance_n prejudice_n or_o disturbance_n may_v accrue_v to_o the_o society_n in_o case_n any_o such_o wrong_n shall_v happen_v the_o common_a good_a and_o interest_n of_o the_o whole_a be_v the_o chief_a end_n of_o his_o legislation_n and_o for_o a_o private_a interest_n to_o give_v place_n to_o a_o public_a good_a be_v not_o only_o reasonable_a in_o itself_o but_o absolute_o necessary_a for_o the_o support_n of_o all_o community_n thus_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o give_v a_o answer_n to_o the_o doctor_n be_v five_a reason_n why_o a_o appeal_n shall_v lie_v the_o next_o thing_n our_o author_n do_v be_v to_o acquaint_v we_o with_o the_o argument_n upon_o which_o his_o lordship_n ground_v his_o opinion_n that_o a_o appeal_n lie_v to_o himself_o and_o that_o as_o ordinary_a he_o be_v the_o proper_a judge_n of_o appeal_n 12._o the_o first_o be_v since_o a_o fellow_n may_v appeal_v there_o must_v be_v a_o competent_a judge_n of_o the_o appeal_n and_o not_o only_a no_o other_o intermediate_v judge_n can_v be_v assign_v but_o all_o other_o judge_n be_v in_o cause_n relate_v to_o the_o college_n express_o exclude_v if_o it_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o statute_n for_o a_o fellow_n to_o appeal_v there_o must_v be_v a_o competent_a judge_n of_o the_o appeal_n but_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v and_o hope_v i_o have_v make_v it_o clear_a that_o a_o fellow_n may_v not_o appeal_v and_o a_o far_a argument_n may_v be_v draw_v for_o it_o from_o the_o founder_n not_o have_v appoint_v a_o judge_n to_o receive_v and_o determine_v a_o appeal_n which_o without_o question_n he_o will_v have_v do_v if_o he_o have_v not_o intend_v there_o shall_v be_v no_o appeal_n for_o he_o be_v very_o particular_a in_o direct_v how_o and_o by_o who_o the_o several_a controversy_n and_o difference_n that_o may_v arise_v within_o the_o society_n shall_v be_v compose_v all_o other_o judge_n be_v exclude_v by_o statute_n what_o be_v they_o exclude_v from_o why_o from_o receive_v appeal_n if_o all_o other_o judge_n beside_o the_o bishop_n of_o exeter_n have_v be_v express_o by_o statute_n exclude_v from_o receive_v appeal_n it_o will_v be_v very_o strong_a on_o his_o lordship_n side_n that_o he_o may_v receive_v they_o but_o the_o statute_n that_o be_v quote_v for_o this_o be_v the_o statute_n de_fw-fr visitatione_n which_o commit_v to_o the_o bishop_n of_o exeter_n and_o his_o deputy_n aâ—_n praeterea_fw-la nemini_fw-la power_n to_o come_v

those_o senior_n be_v void_a in_o like_a manner_n i_o must_v take_v notice_n here_o by_o the_o by_o that_o this_o suspension_n of_o a_o fellow_n ab_fw-la officio_fw-la be_v a_o thing_n not_o warrant_v

unless_o he_o can_v dispense_v with_o their_o oath_n or_o that_o he_o be_v express_o empower_v by_o some_o statute_n of_o the_o college_n so_o to_o suspend_v they_o and_o then_o indeed_o the_o obligaiion_n of_o their_o oath_n will_v consequential_o cease_v during_o such_o suspension_n again_o as_o they_o be_v swear_v to_o officiate_v so_o they_o be_v liable_a to_o expulsion_n if_o they_o
